At the start of the video, a young William Wallace, wearing face paint and a draped Scotland flag, repeats a famous line from the movie, stating: “They can take our lives but they’ll never take our freedom.”

The clip then cuts to a young girl, who is playing English advisor Cressingham.

Imitating a posh English accent, she states: “I’m Hugh Cressingham, leader of the English army, William Wallace is a barbarian, we’re going to destroy the Scots.”

The rest of the class introduce themselves as they prepare for battle in the assembly hall, seperated by a line of football cones.

A SCOTTISH school’s hilarious re-enactment of a famous battle against the Auld Enemy has gone viral – following the SNP’s bid for an Indyref2.

And then, after a short speech by de Cressingham, the two sides charge at one another, weapons in arms, as bagpipe music is played in the background.

In light of Sturgeon’s announcement that the SNP will seek an independence referendum next year, the video began to be shared thousands of times.

Social media users reacted with delight after seeing the video.

Bex Lafferty wrote: “I’m f****** howling” whilst a user known as Michael called the kids “sons of Scotland.”

Johnny McG said: “Scotland tops on tee.”

Many users particularly enjoyed the part of one schoolboy, who plays a character called Brian.

When the Scots introduce themselves at the start of the video, the majority snarl and scream at the camera, shaking their weapons, but Brian, with a smirk on his face and no costume, simply says “I’m Brian”, in a resigned tone.
